Brief Summary:
This study evaluates in detail efficacy and safety (including neurological safety) of hybrid ablation of stand-alone, persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). An implantable ECG monitor will be implanted to all patients for rhythm monitoring. Neurological safety will be assessed by cerebral magnetic resonance, neuropsychological examination and periprocedural transcranial Doppler measurement.
Detailed Description:
Hybrid ablation (i.e. surgical thoracoscopic ablation, followed by catheter endocardial ablation) represent a new treatment option for patients with atrial fibrillation.
60 patients will undergo a two-stage, hybrid ablation, all of them will have an ECG monitoring device implanted and will be followed for up to three years. Neurological safety of both surgical and catheter procedures will be assessed by three examinations. Magnetic resonance will be performed before surgery, 5 days after surgery and at the 180 days visit to search for (subclinical) cerebral ischemia. Complex neuropsychological examination will be performed before surgery, afer 1 month after surgery and at 180 days visit to search for changes in cognitive functions, behavioral functions etc. Transcranial Doppler will be performed during surgical and catheter ablation to detect microembolic signals.
